• Key Concepts: 
  Concurrent lock is a feature in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC) that allows multiple users to access the same data simultaneously. It prevents users from overwriting each other's changes by locking the data while one user is making changes. This ensures that all changes are saved and that no data is lost.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use concurrent lock, users must first enable it in the settings. Once enabled, users can access the same data at the same time without overwriting each other's changes. When a user makes changes to the data, the system will automatically lock it so that no other user can make changes until the first user has finished.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember to save your changes before exiting the system, as any unsaved changes will be lost when the lock is released. Additionally, it is best practice to use concurrent lock when multiple users are accessing the same data at the same time, as this ensures that all changes are saved and no data is lost.
